[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shad0wboss:
basically i had a defy for a while and i got annoyed not by the phone but the services and hardware problems itself. It was going to repair centre every 2 weeks or so. SO now i've decided to switch to galaxy. Some questions i would like to ask are:

-If i buy a second hand (very good condition) phone, would i be able to install software upgrades on it even though its warranty is expired? by software upgrades i mean Android OS upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 and stuff like that.

-Some info about lagfix would be helpful

-Overall galaxy's performance is good?

-If i flash a sbf on galaxy, is it possible to downgrade to the stock one? because it has got unlocked bootloader...(that's the part where motorola defy fails)

Also do let me know about things i need to know and some suggestion on buying a second hand galaxy s would be very appreciated too. Thanks !

Hi, newb here. I searched the forum to see what the H meant in joycelyn's h/3g mod included in the Trigger Rom but I couldn't find anything. What is it? I seem to be stuck on H but I was always 3g before I flashed

[Nook Color General] calicene:
Hi, my wife wants to get a tablet and she has 3 requirements. She wants to watch movies and TV shows that are in avi, able to browse flash websites, and view shows on abc.com/hulu/etc.

I read about the xoom bugs and the price is a little outrageous. Not really interested in the Samsung tab. The nook color rooted would be a great value but can it do those things?

Thanks. Calicene.
[Nook Color General] sambo989:
2 out of 3?

HI

i am using a nook color. with phiremod 5.1 flashed onto the eemc CUSTOM ROM

1. if you are using rockplayer to watch the avi files for tv shows you download it won't be a problem.

2. flash 10.2 the latest version works.

3. me personally i have not been able to get hulu to work reliably. there is a flashplayer hack out there for the viewsonic gtab. i installed it on my nook but it didnt have audio. there is supposed to be a paid app called playon.tv ? but it wasnt reliable for me on trial either..

i purchased my nook color for 200 bucks on the ebay deal, with tax and shipping 216. so i am very happy with it. I use it for digital photo menu at my restaurant. screen is very very clear. it plays games well. also the battery life is good. i think nook color from the store + tax is like 266 dollars.

i also just purchased the viewsonic gtab for 285 shipped from woot.com, its also 307 from tigerdirect (look on the gtab general forums in xda) havent received it yet.

also, i could only get slingbox to work on a nookiefroyo build running off the sd card... if you wanted to have another tv option.

the hardware is very nice for 250 bucks.
[Nook Color General] calicene:
Thanks for the input. What about abc.com and nbc.com for stream viewing shows? She visits those sites more than hulu anyways. Also, do you like the viewsonic gtab or nook color better?
[Nook Color General] Mjailme:
I just tried both abc and nbc.com. neither would play on mine. I'm running flashed nookie froyo with flash 10.2 through the dolphin broswer. Nbc saaid not compattible with my device and abc wanted latest version of flash 10.1. Not sure why 10.2 wouldn't work.
[Nook Color General] gsc1134:
nbc and abc both playing on cm7, bluetooth build. albeit - they are both choppy. hulu says not a supported platform... do the gtab and galaxy play this stuff smoothly?

i am not overclocked, and wonder if that would help.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
Are you using titanium backup to uninstall the bloat?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendive:
I use Titanium Backup Pro and Freeze the apps for now...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipmonger:
If you have root, you can download Root Explorer from the app store. Use it to browse to the app directory and just delete the apps you don't want. Another option is to rename the unwanted apps. For example, change APPNAME.apk to APPNAME.apk.bk ... then it will be "hidden" from the system. Restore it at anytime by removing the ".bk" extension.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coder_t2:
Is there a free version of root explorer? Or a free way to rename these files? I don't really feel like paying $4 to remove bloatware.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneticzero:
there is always the option of adb and manually removing stuff if you are familair with linux commands
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coder_t2:
Anytime I connect via my computer, it says permission denied for su. I know I have root, so I am a little confused. I can uninstall with Titanium Backup, but I was planning on keeping a copy of the apk, just in case. Is there any reason I would need this bloatware? Such as for Warranty or insurance? Other wise I'll just go and remove the worst of the bloat with Titanium backup. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneticzero:
there is RUU downloads in the Dev forum that will get you back to where you need to be in case you want to warranty your phone and make it 100% stock again. Best thing to do before removing stuff is boot into clockwork recovery or use rom manager(from the market) and backup everything...then delete. if you come across a problem with deleting something jsut restore from a backup.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coder_t2:
Oh I didn't about the backup. I'll have to do that. Does the backup copy apks and everything too? Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ SNap:
Hi,

I'm planning to buy desire and I have few questions:

I know that Desire CDMA have not got SIM card, GSM have. But what does it mean? Like iPod and iPhone? Desire CDMA is like iPod and GSM is like iPhone?

So if I buy Desire in Poland from my Operator so I will have GSM, right?

What with bricking Desire? Is there is any way to unbrick it? Or only GSM service or HTC can do it when I pay?

I heard that installing GSM ROM on CDMA device can brick device.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-gsm-and-cdma.htm

CDMA is sold mainly in the US.

Follow instructions closely, don't do stupid things and you won't brick it.

However, there are methods to unbrick some things. Some can't be unbricked (corrupted HBOOT for example).

And do not install CDMA on GSM then, you'll be fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ SNap:
Every things are clear now. I can't wait to buy Desire, but I must wait when my contract with operator can be resigned.

[Xoom Accessories] SnakeManJayd:
HI.

This is sort of off topic and not too useful, but I found a case that I thought would be ideal for the Xoom. Only problem is that it is iPad only at the moment:

I posted this in another forum, but thought I'd post it here too to see if onyone here could think of something.

This is what I would ideally like to use on the Xoom.

www.switcheasy.com

My friend has one for his iPad. The tablet slides in, fits really snugly and the ribbing on it makes it extra rigid and sturdy. Then you take the tablet out when you use it.

So, it protects properly when in the case, and you still have the good looks of the Xoom when you actually take it out and use it, unhindered by annoying cases.

I have emailed them about making for non-apple products, this is their reply:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your appreciation and support of our products.

Generally, all of our new products will be disclosed the detail information on our official website in the upcoming future, thus we suggest you to normally check on our website for the launching period of different new product items.

Regards,

SwitchEasy

So I am still not sure that they will have this for the Xoom.

But a good idea might be for a few people who would really like one of these to also email them and let them know that you would be interested in buying one for a Xoom. Maybe if they get enough interest, they will make it.

But don't spam them.

Any ideas?

* Update:

I bought this case and have pictures on the second page of posts.
[Xoom Accessories] musashiken:
I don't like the idea of keeping a tablet in a sleeve. Not effective for users who have butter fingers. The tablet will stay unprotected during use, so the sleeve is useless at that time.

Only good thing is that it allows you to remove the tablet easily to show it off to friends.

I guess I'll still stick to the Otterbox Defender once it comes out. I need protection for my tablet 24/7.

Well to each his own. Sorry I can't help you.
[Xoom Accessories] SnakeManJayd:
Fair enough, that would be my initial instinct as well about a case, to have it protect all the time.

But I don't know. I've recently had a change of heart. Having that protected sleeve works really well for my friend.

And I like that you get the slim sexy shape and feel of the tablet when you are actually using it, rather than a bulky protective case.

I guess I'm hoping that the pouch will protect it from bumps while in transit and the gorilla glass will take care of the rest.

But I do agree that your idea makes more sense for protection.
[Xoom Accessories] musashiken:
Well so as long it's not easy for the tablet to slide out of the sleeve, I'm sure it'll protect it well during transportation. The ribs make it look sturdy and rigid so no doubt it's more than sufficient to protect the Xoom while it's inside.
[Xoom Accessories] ravizzle:
I emailed switcheasy a couple of weeks ago and the TRIG is the only sleeve that will fit the xoom. It is not officially supported but the the sent me the inside dimensions and the xoom will fit. I liked the ribcage too, but it has a super tight fit on the ipad so it will not fit on the xoom as the xoom is .24 inches longer. I ordered the trig today so when i get it i will post pics as to how it fits.
[Xoom Accessories] SnakeManJayd:
Thanks for the info.

Ya, was wondering if it would just fit in the Ribcage one.

I might try it on my friend's, just to make sure when my Xoom comes, but I think you are right and it will stick out.

Yes, please do post it here when you get it.

Cheers
[Xoom Accessories] SnakeManJayd:
Just checked out the TRIG... Wow... It is quite metro/matrix.

It looks really practical though. If they do fit the Xoom, I might look at getting one.

It looks like it would do the case/stand thing better than the official portfolio case (which I think is dumb and a waste of money).

Still wish I could get the Ribcage one for it. That would be perfect in my mind.
[Xoom Accessories] ravizzle:
Yea the ribcage was the nicest looking. I'm a premed so i especially like the skeleton look, and i could imagine all my friends being jealous of the awesome case. Unfortunately the ribcage is super tight fitting on the ipad. The TRIG seems more practical though, th einside is super soft and the doubling as a stand is cool too. I get my xoom on wednesday, and im not sure how long the trig will take to ship, but ill post a review/pics asap.
[Xoom Accessories] OneStepAhead:
I've had many switcheasy cases for my iphone 3g a few years back. I've emailed them in the past asking for android support.
[Xoom Accessories] sophiemith:
Well, I didn't like sleeve before, too. But, it always provide enough protection and in simply design. (I can accept fancy design for phone case, but not tablet case. :P)

It can fit many purpose and many things. My old netbook, my friend's iPad or even the coming Xoom (I guess).

My friend is using Dsstyles's iPad case. I find it nice, as its insider layer is velvet.

Its name should be Neo Series iPad 2 Bag.
[Xoom Accessories] ravizzle:
Ok finally got my case. It fits nicely. I also have the gel cover free from Costco and the case wont close with that on, but I wasn't planning on using it anyways.The case is a gloss material on outside, the inside is soft felt that feels like fur, it is super soft on inside. The stand is very stable as well.
[Xoom Accessories] SnakeManJayd:
Very nice.

Thanks for showing us.

It still looks a bit shinier than what I would usually be comfortable with, but it does look like it does the job well.

I'm just not sure I'll pay that much plus shipping to Africa, if I'm not 100% certain on it, I will have to think about it.

Thanks again.
[Xoom Accessories] ravizzle:
Yea it is pretty shiny, but I think my phone camera flash makes it a bit more shiny looking than it actually is. On YouTube some ppl have done nicer reviews of the trig with ipad you should check em out it may help you make up your mind.
[Xoom Accessories] SnakeManJayd:
Ok.

I got my Xoom today. Writing this on it in fact.

Anyway, I tried it in my friends ribcage case and it fits perfectly!

I battled to believe it, but it is so snug and doesn't stick out. It's not the whole width of the case, but it's hardly noticeable.

Buying it from here is going to be a pain, but I think it will be worth it.

Will post pics if I manage to get case
[Xoom Accessories] SnakeManJayd:
I ordered the ribcage case from SwitchEasy.

Had to borrow a credit card to do it, but it should be on it's way soon.
[Xoom Accessories] SnakeManJayd:
So. I got the case and it fits amazingly.

It's really soft inside, it cushions the tablet nicely, and the front is very rigid.

The Xoom doesn't slide out, even when turned upside down and shaken.

You have to take it out, which is great so it won't fall out.

I also got a nice surprise as it came with two little stands and a microfibre cloth.

It also came with two iPad screen covers, which don't help, but it is still cool.

Here are pictures:

The microfibre cloth and the one stand. The other stand is exactly the same, just white.

The stand in the upright position.

It cradles the Xoom really well.

It is also really stable in portrait mode.

Size comparisons:

Front of case with Xoom in.

This is how far in it goes

Even though it has gaps on the side, it is held in really tightly, so it doesn't wobble around, not even slightly.

The leather looking back, with Xoom in

And this is me holding it upside-down to show that it doesn't just fall out.

Cool.

Hope you enjoyed the photos.

I highly recommend this case for the Xoom.

Cheers
[Xoom Accessories] ravizzle:
aww man u got me regretting getting the trig!!!! I think I might just end up giving the trig to my sis who has an ipad and getting the ribcage. Still not sure tho as I might be returning my xoom for an asus :(
[Xoom Accessories] SnakeManJayd:
Shame, sorry about that.

Ya, the asus does look pretty sweet, but I'm happy with my Xoom.

That ribcage case is amazing.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asafru:
Hi all,

on my very first flash of CM7, I had to install gapps. All worked well and I was happy.

Since then, every time I flash CM7, I get gapps already installed (yes I wiped all, yes I cleared dalvik cache, I even did the lock/unlock thing in order to clear all data).

I somehow get the feeling that my flashes are not a "clean" install.

did anyone else experience this as well?

thanks...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
On your first time on CM7, wipe everything, flash cm7, flash gapps. When you want to update cm7, jus wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the updated cm7. No need to reflash gapps, no need to do a full wipe either.... unless you want to.

-Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asafru:
So you mean that from now on. Gapps will always be installed? Even after full wipe/ factory settings?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navlem:
That's not what he meant. He meant that if you are upgrading CM7, you do not need a full wipe at all.

But after a full wipe your Gapsps should be gone. It's weird that it is still there after a wipe. :S

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Wipe Factory/Dalvik/Cache: Full Wipe

Wipe Factory: Removes Apps + Settings

Wipe Dalvik/Cache: Wipes the cache but your apps + settings remain.

Wiping factory will delete your Gapps.

Proper way to flash CM7:

1. Wipe Factory/Dalvik/Cache

2. Flash CM7

3. Flash Gapps

4. Flash Kernel (Optional)

5. Reboot

1. Wipe Dalvik/Cache (Optional)

2. Flash Kernel (Optional)

3. Flash CM7
